✻ Welcome back. Ready when you are.
Types wherever your cursor is
How it works
From thought to text in one shortcut.
01
Press your shortcut
From any app. The orb appears and Shout is already recording. No window to open, nothing to click.
Set any shortcut you like.
02
Say the whole thing
Ramble, pause, start over, then press again to stop. With Parakeet a live transcript streams while you talk, and the finished recording is transcribed again in full on your Mac.
Nothing is sent anywhere. The live transcript is made on your Mac.

03
It lands where you were
The text is pasted straight into the app that had focus. Queue several takes and send each one where it belongs.
Add a retry around the model download and surface the error in the menu bar.
Running ten minutes late, start without me.
Idea: let people pin a section of the buffer as a bookmark.
The strip
While you talk, this is all you see.
One floating bar, drawn here from the app’s own measurements. Every part does one thing.
01 · REC
Recording
Lit for exactly as long as audio is being captured.
02 · Meter
Level
Moves with your voice, so you can see it listening.
03 · 0:12
Elapsed
How long this take has run.
04 · Square
Stop
Or press your shortcut again.
05 · Paste
Paste action
Paste, paste and send, copy only and five more, remembered per app.
06 · Slack
Destination
The app that had focus, or one you pick.
07 · Lock
Lock
Pin the destination and every take goes there, even while you look elsewhere.
Rewind
Forgot to hit record? It doesn’t matter. Shout keeps a rolling buffer of what you’ve said, writes it to disk continuously, and comes back from a crash without losing a word.
Transcribe the past.
Pick any stretch of the timeline and turn it into text, even an hour later. Listen back before you do.
Drag to rewind
“…so we ship the export fix Thursday, and Alex owns the onboarding copy. Let’s check in again Monday.”
How far back
Keep a day, keep a weekend, or keep everything. Audio older than 24 hours is compressed to about 11 MB an hour, so a month of it is a few gigabytes.
Built not to fail.
Audio hits the disk as you speak. If something crashes, Shout repairs the recording on the next launch and hands it back.

Meetings
It knows which meeting you were in.
Every recording is labelled with the call it belongs to, so your timeline reads like your day instead of a wall of audio.
Link the calendar you already use
Google, Outlook or Exchange, through the Mac's own Calendar accounts.
A nudge before it starts
Shout reminds you ahead of a meeting, or opens itself, so you never join one unrecorded.
Starts itself when the call does
Open Zoom, Google Meet or Slack and recording begins. It spots meeting windows too.

Private by design
Nothing you say leaves your Mac.
Client calls, half-formed ideas, things you’d never type into a chatbot. Shout runs the speech models on your own hardware, and it keeps working on a plane.

Already have a license? Download Shout. Your key is in the email from Lemon Squeezy, or in your orders.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. Download Shout and it runs free for 14 days with every feature. No card, no account, no key. When it ends, pick a lifetime license or Pro.
What does the lifetime license include?
Everything: unlimited transcription, the always-on audio buffer and timeline, all three engines and every Whisper model, 99 languages by auto-detect (20 you can pin), audio export, and all future updates.
Why does the lifetime price go up?
There will only ever be 1,000 lifetime licenses. The first 500 are $75, the next 300 are $120, and the final 200 are $150. When they're gone, they're gone.
How many Macs can I use it on?
Up to 3. Your laptop, your desktop, your work machine.
Is my audio private?
All audio and transcription processing happens locally on your Mac. We never see your recordings or transcripts. Beyond your license email, the app sends crash reports unless you turn them off, and usage analytics only if you turn them on. Neither ever includes audio or text.
Can I get a refund?
Yes. There's a 30-day money-back guarantee. If Shout isn't for you, get in touch and we'll refund you.
Start talking.
Early Bird pricing ends after the first 500 licenses.
